Overview
- Chinnor RFC has proposed a rebuild of its Kingsey Road ground into a 5,000-seat covered stadium, with work targeted to start after next season pending planning approval.
- Club leaders say a single family benefactor will cover the full cost, presenting the project as a path to long-term financial stability.
- The stadium would be open for community events and entertainment, which the club says will broaden local use beyond match days.
- Head coach and director of rugby Nick Easter has signed a new deal and will join the Main Board, linking team leadership to the off-field project.
- Early designs include a running track around the pitch, and reporting places the proposed venue alongside Coventry and Doncaster in scale, with CEO Simon Vickers calling it one of the Championship’s most significant upgrades in years.
